Hi, the new firmware also allows to manually select the linked Deco.
3. Added support for customizing clients connection preference under Deco App > CLIENTS > Select the client > Click the gear icon on the right-up corner > Connection Preference.
Note: This feature is ONLY supported in Mesh networks consisting of ALL Deco's with firmware 1.6.0 installed. And the clients are connected to the HOST NETWORK.
Did you mean after manually selecting the linked Deco, the clients need a long time to switch from the original one to this unit? How long did it take normally?

@TP-Link Overall I am very satisfied with version 1.6.0. I was having trouble to put Decos to use ethernet infrastructure, but as soon as the New version was installed all Decos connected to the main Deco Using ethernet, no need to configure manually. I noticed the delay in cell phones when moving around my home, with mesh and fast roaming enabled.
Thanks.

I'm having the same issue as @Lordvader , after selecting a connection preference on multiple devices and after rebooting the deco's and devices, they still connect to the 'nearest or best' deco (not the one I selected).
Is there any way to resolve this?

This update made me so happy even with their bugs.
Finally I can set which band I want to use with each device.
With this I am now able to use my printer in the same network (2.4 GHz) along with the other devices (5 GHz), no more guest networks.
However I am facing same issue as the community: Devices connecting to another Deco even if I selected an specific one, and also I noticed that devices are taking long time to switch between Deco units.
Thank you!
